Sorry for all the skirt reviews this week. I didn't plan for them to all fall in one week. As you all know and have seen, sequins is everywhere. I've been looking for a champagne/blush sequin skirt for an upcoming Holiday party. Everything I have seen is extremely bold and I needed just the right color and style. I attempted to get a kids size 12 skirt from J.Crew factory (thanks Elle for tweeting it) but that didn't work out which you will see at the end of this post.

The only other thing I have bought from Zara was this mustard coat but then ended up selling it to a reader. I haven't had much luck with their sizing. They tend to run much bigger than H&M.  

Measurements: Waist laying flat across is 13.5" and total length is 13.5"

Fit: This skirt is meant to be worn on your lower waist. Unfortunately, even at the lowest point on my waist, it's still really big on me. I have to determine if I can get away with it without alterations. The Holiday party is next week and I have no time to take it to the tailors.  The length may be too short on taller women but it works like mini on me. I like that it's a straight cut and fits nicely through the hips and butt. This will allow me to walk freely and be very comfortable when mingling.  Warning- this will not work if you are smaller than me.

Quality: If I had to pick things apart, it would be the uneven stitching on the top and bottom of the skirt. It's not noticeable but if you look really closely, it's not perfectly straight.  I was hoping for the price, it would be better quality. The side zipper does not have a hook-and-eye closure which really annoys me. Overall, it's typical Zara craftsmanship but I'm somewhat satisfied.

Color: Champagne color. I wish it was more of a blush tone but this is much easier to wear and match. I like that it's neutral and toned down.

Price: $49. A bit steep and over my $30 price point for a sequin skirt. I figured if it fit and the color was what I was looking for, I am willing to pay the price. What's great about ordering through Zara online is free shipping and free returns. 

Verdict: I like it but can I get away with the bigger waist? Is it worth alterations?  Maybe I can hold it up with a belt and then hide it with my cardigan buttoned up?
